Speak up please

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. The content is great and the 2 hosts know their baseball. I would’ve given this show 4.5 stars but unfortunately that’s not an option. My only gripe is that one of the hosts either speaks very softly or their microphone is terrible. It seems like every time they speak I need to put the volume up. Other than that this show is 5 stars and an easy listen.
